When it came to the crunch the pressure got to the manager looking at his starting line ups the past few games.
Hard to argue with that. Some strange selections though injury hasn't helped

This is screaming out so much about the lack of leadership within the dressing room. I do admire his honesty I suppose but, the attitude from them all has to change ASAP !

Thank you, Dujon. Finally someone with the balls to be honest.

How many of the current team have played 'season after season'?

Both manager and players have been all over the place in recent times.
Both struggling to handle the pressure.
It evolved into an absolute shitshow.

Pretty damning of his team mates, better than the bullshit we have been getting fed like we’re a bunch of morons.

That will ruffle the feathers of a few sensitive souls in the dressing room but fair play to him, I’d much rather hear that than the generic disappointed we’ll learn nonsense

Was thinking just the same. Build the midfield around him he has everything for that role.
You do know he is including himself in that .

For Sterling to come out with this is quite strange.
Especially after Clements rant. I would have thought they were all singing from the same sheet.

I love Dujon and would have him start every game. But, is he not also saying that he too doesn't believe? And, if so, he probably didn't believe at all like the rest of them?

100%. Back from injury, and although versatile playing out of position. Probably the most uncomfortable presser he'll do. Hats off for his honesty rather tthan the usual sound bites.
I’d rather have someone who is obviously raging at what we’ve been producing than shrugs it off and goes ‘never mind’.

Goldsons comments after losing at Hampden and Taverniers programme notes are referenced regularly on here.

Injuries and fitness have greatly impacted his ability to get the best out of this squad. It's never as simple as, play the best team. Not when you've had as many injury break downs as we've had this season.
The Raskin situation, coupled with the Diomandé injury has obliterated our midfield. Compounded by the fact we don't have a left back so we're relying on Dujon to bail us out. It all goes back to the summer and the piss poor job of rebuilding the squad from last year. It's imbalanced and breaks far too easily.

Interesting this was held back for 24 hours by Rangers friendly media outlets.
The club have waited 24 hours before sanctioning this? Probably based on fans reaction.

Borna hardly plays now, so 3 players out of 11, that's my point caller.

Finally a bit of honesty. This stems from the Captain.
How can you be in a dressing room and have a junior player question the belief. If he’s not seeing it, and is brave enough to say it, its clearly not there.
Tavenier is never a Rangers Captain and should be stripped of the armband and told to leave this summer.

Says to me they are sitting quiet in the dressing room suddenly think oh crap what happens if we lose this…lo and behold here we are. Instead they should be louder, in earlier telling everyone we can write our names in the history books, 55 we had no fans this one will be unbelievable so let’s fight for everything go like it’s a cup final and we’ll be legends lads. You’ll never buy a pint again in certain pubs we can do this boys.
Anyone that plus within themselves for whatever reason then gets a bollocking of pull your weight or leave now, you’re not bringing us down.
Bottled and now they won’t be able to show face in certain pubs.
yes he is talking about the team.
I know lots on here want it to be aimed at Tav and Goldson only but it's not.
It's a collective , team wins together , the team lose together.
Can you imagine however if Tav had said the same , this place would be going mental (well it already is ,let's face it)

Same thing that has happened every other time expectation has been placed on the core of this squad.
They shite themselves.

And now we have a ‘story’ in the lead-up to the game, all due to the nonsense the manager spoke.
Clement will be asked about it in the press conference - is he going to publicly disagree with Sterling?

It was when Goldson said it post hibs. I didn't mind it then and I don't mind it now, just confused as it seems like Duj is also implicating himself in the lack of belief.

Agree it’s aimed at the group.
However the standards in that dressing room are being set by several losers.

Fair play to Sterling.
The truth of being in a dressing room led by senior pros who are weak and achieved nothing in their careers.
Losers the lot of them.

Goldsons comment re Hibs game was pretty poor.
Sterling's just seems a guy telling it is. No we must learn guff.
I've an issue with the subject of Sterling's comment if it is true but not going to go nuts for him speaking his mind.
You could suggest that if this is out of character but in our case it's keeping up with the trend. We've lived this several times under several managers.
There comes a point need to look at the common denominators, while still acknowledging the role Managers play & the impact their skillset has on things.
who are the losers?

I don't think Dujon speaks out of turn without the managers blessing tbh. I don't think he's gone rogue.
I think the squad has to do some soul searching, because only they can fix it and rise to the occasion. The manager has pushed and praised them all season to get them to the point they are now, only they can take the next step.

Of course it would be a different reaction if the team Capt says it as, he is the guy that's meant to be helping his team mates have the belief we can win the title!

People wanted Goldson gone for the same comments minutes after his interview at Hampden
